Sinopsis

"Dolphin Social Care" explores the remarkable world of cetacean caregiving behaviors, revealing how dolphins support and rehabilitate injured members of their pods. Through decades of research combining underwater observations and modern tracking technology, the book uncovers the sophisticated social systems that dolphins have developed over millions of years to ensure the survival of their pod members.The text presents fascinating evidence of dolphins' complex care mechanisms, including physical support for injured pod members to help them surface for air, coordinated protection from predators, and modified swimming patterns to accommodate compromised individuals. Perhaps most intriguingly, dolphins employ sophisticated acoustic communication systems during these care scenarios, adjusting their echolocation patterns and vocal signals to maintain constant contact with injured pod members, especially in challenging visibility conditions.The book progresses from examining basic physical support systems to exploring the intricate social learning aspects of dolphin care behavior, demonstrating how these skills are passed down through generations within pods. Drawing from research conducted at marine biology centers and wild populations, it provides valuable insights for marine biologists, conservationists, and wildlife enthusiasts while maintaining scientific rigor. This comprehensive approach helps readers understand not only how dolphins care for their own but also the broader implications for marine conservation and our understanding of animal intelligence.

Glossy - The inside story of Vogue

Nina-Sophia Miralles

Vogue magazine started, like so many great things do, in the spare room of someone's house. But unlike other such makeshift projects that flare up then fizzle away, Vogue burnt itself onto our cultural consciousness. 
 
 
 
Today, 128 years later, Vogue spans twenty-two countries, has an international print readership upwards of twelve million, and nets over sixty-seven million monthly online users. Uncontested market leader for a century, it is one of the most recognizable brands in the world and a multi-million dollar money-making machine. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the establishment. But what—and more importantly who—made Vogue such an enduring success? 
 
 
 
Glossy will answer this question and more by tracing the previously untold history of the magazine, from its inception as a New York gossip rag, to the sleek, corporate behemoth we know now. This will be a biography of Vogue in every sense of the word, taking the listener through three centuries, two world wars, plunging failures, and blinding successes, as it charts the story of the magazine and those who ran it.

The Invisible Bond - Exploring...

PhD Dr. Patrick Fisher

She told me she hadn't left her apartment in eleven days. The grocery delivery sat inside the front door. She had eaten what she could reach from her bed. Her therapist had called twice; she let it go to voicemail. Then her dog pressed its body against her side—and something shifted.
The Invisible Bond is the first book in The Invisible Series by Dr. Patrick Fisher—clinician, researcher, and founder of TheraPetic. Built on original doctoral research at Walden University, this book goes beyond clinical data to capture what it actually feels like to manage anxiety with an emotional support animal by your side.
Through in-depth qualitative interviews with adults living with clinically significant anxiety, Dr. Fisher documents the themes that emerged: presence, routine, grounding, connection, and the quiet ways an animal can hold space for a person who is struggling.
This book is for clinicians seeking to better serve clients who rely on ESAs. For individuals navigating anxiety with an animal companion. For policymakers making decisions about rights they may not fully understand. And for anyone who has ever been told that needing an animal is a weakness rather than a strategy of survival.
The science has not changed. Cortisol still drops. Oxytocin still releases. The autonomic nervous system still responds. This book documents why—and what it means for the future of mental health care.
The Invisible Series continues with The Invisible Disability, The Invisible Law, The Invisible Prison, The Invisible Identity, and The Invisible Data.

The Mythology Builder’s Toolkit...

Hannibal Hills

Nine mythologies. Nine toolkits. One complete system for building worlds that breathe.
Myth isn't a relic. It's the oldest technology for making sense of a world that refuses to stay simple, and you don't need a degree in classics to wield it.
The Mythology Builder's Toolkit gives you nine complete workshop chapters, each packed with archetypes drawn from mythologies worldwide, worked examples you can steal from, and creative dares that won't let you play it safe.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
The Genesis Engine: six ways worlds begin, and how creation shapes the map
The Divine Spectrum: gods, ghosts, and the hungry dead as one living ecosystem
The Mirror Framework: heroes and villains built as two halves of one wound
The Hunger Principle: why every monster worth building wants more than it eats
The Pairing Principle: relics and sanctums that need each other to matter
The Scale Shift: every quest is a small apocalypse; every apocalypse is someone's quest
From Greek and Norse to Yoruba, Hindu, Maya, Aboriginal Australian, and dozens more, this book draws on over 100 cultural traditions to give you frameworks that work for any world you're building.
A through-line mythology called the Loom runs across all nine chapters, built from scratch, showing every toolkit in action: creation to apocalypse, gods to monsters, tricksters to prophecy.
Whether you're writing a novel, designing a tabletop campaign, or building a world from the ground up, this is the craft book that treats mythology as a living practice, not a museum exhibit.
From the creator of Gods and Monsters, one of the largest mythology encyclopedias on the web, and the daily Substack read by over 50,000 mythology lovers.

Racing To Extinction - Why...

Lyle Lewis, Foreword by Sue...

Global warming, loss of biodiversity, and toxic chemicals are undermining the ability of the planet to support complex life. Routinely overlooked in causing our current predicament is that several million years of evolution has predisposed Homo sapiens, both anatomically and behaviorally, to vanishing.A former endangered species biologist looks at the ongoing sixth mass extinction through the prism of human behavior, personal experience, ecology, evolutionary biology, and contemporary conservation efforts. He provides new insights into factors triggering the current mass extinction event and examines conventional wisdom regarding human intelligence. The author suggests—as humanity edges ever closer to disappearing forever—a clear-eyed, real-world rationale for resignation but also acceptance.Foreward by Sue Coulstock; Foreward narrated by Heather Henderson
